How to
essay plague society write your best essay ever!
English biz has separate guides for each of the types of writing you'll meet on your course but this particular guide is probably the most important of them all. It will show you how to construct an effective, well-structured argument-based essay.
How do you feel when you're given an essay to write?
Do you fill with f-f-fear? W-w-wobble with worry? P-p-pour with perspiration? Well, here's a way that make the whole process more satisfying and enjoyable!
Okay, he's off his rocker (but we won't worry as he's not real!). He's yet to discover that writing an essay is never going to be an easy task, even for the best writers. But you're about to find out how it can be made much more straightforward , interesting and effective .
Penalty! Oh, and likely to gain you a significantly higher grade, too! So that's something to feel, well.
Child Labour! just a little bit excited about!
It's important to understand one thing before we start: unlike a maths or science question, an English essay question has no single 'correct' answer.
You can breathe easy on that one. It's just not like that. In an English essay there is no one 'answer' and
letter of application nothing to
labour plague 'prove'. That isn't to say there aren't wrong answers - there are.
Penalty Essay! These are those based on
essay child society, 'mis-readings' of
letter, your texts. But what your teacher or examiner wants is a reasonable, informed, explained and
essay child labour society well-supported view . In a nutshell, that's it.
An essay requires this from you:
a succinct opening in which you give an overview of your response to the essay question. This is a kind of 'super-condensed' response that sums up your whole response in a line or two.
you can add to the opening sentences, a very brief explanation of wh at
students need help on essays us, aspects of the text brought you to this view . If you can give, say, four - six aspects, then you are setting out the
plague coming structure of
essays outline, your essay . There is no better way to
essay society begin an essay than like this. From this point on you will never be left scratching your head wondering what to write next.
the remainder of the essay is merely a series of P>E>E paragraphs that, point by point, argue the
check case for what you have just stated.
Child Society! Each point (P) needs its own paragraph and to
bullying research have support (E) from the text (either a quotation, or an explanation of some aspect of form or structure ) along with with an explanation (E) of how the
child labour society text brought you to such a view, the
on turnitin effects it created, the methods the author used to create the effects and, finally, its relevance to the text, that is, the author's purposes .
That's it. Done and dusted! More detail below if needed.
The secret of a good essay? Make it an
essay child labour plague society argument !
An effective essay is
of application for college professor, a piece of writing that makes a strong and well-supported case for a stated viewpoint . The view it makes the case for is your response to the essay title or question . You'll have arrived at after a couple of readings of the text, more if a poem, and one of which will be a so-called 'close-reading' when you annotate the text carefully in line with whatever the essay question asks, seeking out support as quotations or explanations of useful effects created by form and structure .
So your essay starts with a clear statement of your opinion . It could be something like, as an example:
'Shakespeare's theme of violence in Romeo and
essay child labour society Juliet is shown especially effectively through the opening scene, as well as through the characters of Mercutio and Tybalt and an analysis of these three dramatic aspects will form the basis of
penalty deterrence essay, this essay.'
The opening overview is sometimes called a thesis statement . The 'thesis' is
plague, your response, i.e. the heart of your 'argument'. It's what the
letter for college professor essay goes on to explain and support to show that it is a view that is well - considered, based on the text and reasonable to
child labour hold .
Essays are about
college opinions, not facts.
This point is crucial to take on
essay labour, board. There is
entrance essays, never a straightforward right answer to an essay q uestion or title.
Child Plague Society! There are wrong answers, of course - caused through, for example, misinterpreting the text; but the 'answer' to an essay question will always be a point of view . Essays deal in opinions, not facts .
This is why your teacher is looking to read your views and
college students help why you have come to
essay labour think in
bullying this particular way.
How do you arrive at a 'thesis' or overview?
This is the tough part - there's no getting away from that. Not least, this is because it puts to the test your knowledge of the text and your understanding of the essay title or question . The good news is that when it's done and done well, the remainder of the essay becomes much more straightforward and far more interesting to write, perhaps even a little exciting!
The Outline Structure for an Effective Essay.
As already stated above, this first paragraph needs to open with a clearly stated summary of your whole 'answer' along with an equally brief summary of the
essay child labour plague aspects of the text you'll be analysing to show your stated view is sound .
It is these early sentences that provide the
deterrence essay major 'signposts' that give your essay and its general direction.
Importantly, you need to set a confident tone early on in the essay. This can be done by adding in a very few details to show you've grasped the text's big picture .
This should be a brief comment (brevity is everything in
essay child labour the opening paragraph) on the major details of the story (poem or whatever) along with an equally brief statement of any relevant context , (that is the situation you feel brought the writer to want to write their text, including key aspects of their social , cultural and literary contexts ). This will, though, always need to be focused on the needs of the
workplace research paper essay question .
Notice how you are constantly seeking to avoid waffle and generalised 'bolted on' comments ; instead, you need to keep all you write tightly focused on the needs of the essay title or question.
This is the bulk of the essay. It is a series of paragraphs each introduced with a new clear important and wholly relevant point .
Sadly, it's all too easy to open a in a way that inspires little confidence and which drifts from the essay question or argument. Avoid this by opening each and every paragraph in a way that is
essay child, clearly and directly developing the essay's 'answer' or argument . If you started by stating the four-six aspects you'll be covering in your essay, then you'll have no difficulty knowing what to write in
penalty essay these body paragraphs.
This is where you restate, in a different form, your opening argument and give a brief list of the
child labour plague society major points you have made along with a comment about the wider implications and
research relevance of what you have found.
It will help to think back to
essay plague society the imaginary classroom situation. What would follow on from the highly condensed 'answer' you gave to your teacher? Your teacher might say, 'Good, that's a fair view to hold - but why do you think that? Show me from the text itself what made you think that way.' In the written essay, you'll need to be providing a whole lot more 'evidence' mainly in the form of quotations each one itself supported by
workplace bullying research a commentary derived from an analysis of the quotation's literary and linguistic content .
However, with a central and guiding argument starting off and
essay labour plague society flowing through the entire essay, it now becomes much easier to
college essays search the text for aspects and quotations that will provide good quality evidence to support the essay's points.
Each point and supporting quotation needs to be followed by an analysis and comment .
Child Labour Plague! Some teachers call this the P.E.E. ( point > example > explanation ) or P.Q.C. ( point > quotation > comment ) system. This is needed to explain how and why the aspect of the text or the quotation 'works' within the context of the essay question and the originally stated argument.
Certain key questions need to be answered concerning each quotation used:
What techniques have been used to make the language of the quotation effective? This means discussing the writer's methods , e.g. through the
qualify thesis creation of realistic dialogue; the use of an effective metaphor; through vivid description; onomatopoeia; alliteration; effective stage directions, etc.
How does the method used affect the reader's understanding of the text and its themes (e.g. 'the effect of this passage is to create a sense of really being there for
child plague the reader. ')?
Why was this method used (i.e. what was the writer's purpose )? E.g. 'At this point on the story the author wants to gain the reader's attention in
essay order to begin exploring the overall theme of injustice. '
MARK GRABBING TIP No. 1!
Begin all of your paragraphs in such a way that it is absolutely clear you are focused on the essay question and its requirements, thus building up your overall argument.
This will keep the essay on track and avoid the plague of poor essays: wandering, digression and waffle!
What if your essay title isn't in the form of a question?
When considered as a question, you will often find it is easier to generate that all-important single main point of view to it - the main idea upon which you will then base the remainder of your essay .
Here is an example of a main idea succinctly stated (i.e.
Essay Child Labour Plague! thesis statement ) that could be used to create an
check my paper on turnitin argument essay from the above question:
The remainder of this - or any other - essay must then be no more than a linked series of points with each point explained , developed and supported in a paragraph of its own .
Plague Society! These points must all be directly related to the main idea you have already explained in the opening paragraph, which itself is your response to the essay title or question.
Remember that each point - each paragraph - must set out to explain , develop and
qualify statement support some aspect of your over-riding main idea and nothing more .
In this example, the paragraph that follows the opening paragraph - the first of what is called the body paragraphs of your essay - could be based on the point that the theme of
child labour plague, ambition is shown through what Macbeth and
defend qualify thesis Lady Macbeth are given by Shakespeare to
essay child labour plague society say and
on essays companies do in Act One of the play.
The third paragraph of your essay - its second body paragraph - might then explore, develop and support how the
child society theme of
essays, ambition is shown through these two characters in some part of Act 2, and so on.
Below you'll find lots more detail and
essay plague society ideas for
research writing an effective essay but with luck, the above will have given you the basic idea.
Aim to 'integrate' words or phrases from the text you are studying directly into your own sentences (still using quotation marks, of
essay society, course). Don't overdo this effective technique, but used sparingly, this use of
essays outline, 'embedded' quotations can help create a very impressive style, one that suggests you have a good grasp of the text and the essay question.
Here are some examples of how to use embedded quotations. The first is from the
essay child labour plague society opening of John Steinbeck's novel, 'Of Mice and Men':
'Small and quick' George is presented by Steinbeck as a character in complete contrast to his friend, the lumbering and 'shapeless' Lennie.
Here is a similarly embedded quotation from J B Priestley's 'An Inspector Calls':
As the Inspector says, 'We don't live alone' and this is an important message Priestley gives his audience.
Finally, see how this can be done using John Agard's poem, 'Half-Caste':
Perhaps Agard also wants his reader to 'come back tomorrow' with a different attitude towards those they might feel are in
challenge qualify thesis statement any way different from themselves.
MORE TIPS AND MORE DETAIL!
Essays take a great deal of effort and time and so deserve careful preparation.
T he most common failing examiners find is a lack of understanding of the text on which the
essay labour society essay is based. This is to take the road signpos ted 'Failure'.
Penalty! But you're heading elsewhere.
So. get to know your text well. You won't succeed if you don't!
I f you struggle with the text, read it through again with a study guide to hand. Also, talk the text over with friends or your teacher.
Plague! There is more help with specific texts here .
Many essay writers fail to create an
on essays companies us initial main viewpoint or drift from this single focus. This loses marks as it leads to waffle , vagueness and generalisation .
As you've read above, another common pitfall is to focus too much on the surface features of the text you are writing about. This happens when you write at
essay child plague society, length about the meaning of the text, i.e. by telling what happens in it.
In effect, all you are doing when you do this is to
workplace research paper retell the story of the
plague society text.
You need to be discussing how and why the author has created an effective text through careful, interesting and effective choices of style and language as well as structure .
M ore marks are lost if you forget the need to support the points you make in each paragraph.
A good idea is to
for college professor try to use at least one quotation - or reference to the text - per paragraph.
Remember, too, that this is an English essay and this means you need to
child labour plague reflect how authors use language and literary techniques in effective ways in
deterrence essay their writing .
Aim only to choose quotations that contain important elements in them that will allow you to discuss in depth aspects of, for example, their literary style , language or structure.
Consider discussing, for example, how the quotation acts to build tension , mood , character , a sense of
essay child labour, place or how it helps explore one of the text's themes .
Discuss, too, how the quotation works both at
death deterrence essay, the point it occurs and
child labour society as a contribution to the whole , i.e. the
thesis statement way it helps the writer achieve his or her purpose .
This means you need to discuss aspects of the quotation such as its effectiveness - which means discussing aspects of
child labour plague, language , structure and style .
1. DEVELOP A STRONG INITIAL FOCUS FOR YOUR ESSAY.
The word 'essay' comes from a French word meaning 'attempt': your essay is your attempt to argue for your point of view , a view that when succinctly expressed is called a thesis statement .
This 'thesis statement' needs to be an
challenge thesis idea you developed based on an interpretation of whatever aspect of the text is
essay child, asked in
letter for college the essay question. Interpretation means considering how a text operates at different levels ; it is
essay child, your interpretation of the text that will be at the heart of the essay: an interpretation that must supports the overall thesis statement.
2. FIND SOLID SUPPORT FOR YOUR VIEWPOINT.
You will need to search through the text and
death deterrence essay note down a series of aspects and quotations that can be used to support the overall view you have developed.
Use 'post-it notes' to help with this or write the
essay society aspects/quotations down separately.
Choose aspects or quotations that you can analyse successfully for the methods used , effects created and
thesis purpose intended .
3. WRITE AN EFFECTIVE OPENING PARAGRAPH.
Use your introductory paragraph to state your point of view , i.e. your thesis statement.
The purpose of your opening paragraph is to
essay child make clear your thesis statement - response to the essay question: that is, to explain the focus of your argument - your main idea or point of view.
Stated clearly at the opening to your essay, this shows how you intend to
letter for college answer the
essay child labour plague society essay question and
professor what general direction your essay will take.
Essay Labour! Following your thesis statement, it's a good idea to
students on essays companies add a little more detail that acts to 'preview' each of the
child plague major points that you will cover in the body of the essay.
Entrance Outline! This opening paragraph will then act to
essay show - succinctly - where you stand regarding the questions and how you intend to answer it.
Importantly, in the opening paragraph of your essay you will also need to write an overview of the text, one that gives a succinct summary of the ' big picture ' of the text; importantly, too, of course, this must be focused on the requirements of the essay question.
Giving a succinct account of the big picture of the text in
on turnitin the opening paragraph will show that you have engaged with and digested the detail of
essay child society, three key aspects of the essay: the essay question, the text and its author - perhaps also, a brief account of the author's context .
Giving an overview suggests a confident approach and is a hallmark of the best essays.
TIP: It is
workplace, always impressive to incorporate into your own sentences, using quotation marks of course, a short suitable quotation taken from the text. Some teachers call this using embedded quotations.
Keep all references to the biographical background of the author and any aspects of his or her context entirely relevant to the essay question and - brief!
Remember that this is not a history or a sociology essay so very few marks are awarded for this kind of background information (although that does not mean it might not be useful). The majority of
essay child labour, marks in an English essay are awarded for the quality of analysis and interpretation you show - that is, an awareness of the author's uses of the
need on essays us English language and literary uses of this.
If your essay title does concern aspects of context try hard to discuss context by
child labour plague deriving your comments from quotations rather than by merely discussing aspects of context; in
college entrance other words allow the text to introduce the context.
TIP: avoid making simplistic and irrelevant value judgments of the text or its author. Saying that Shakespeare is
essay society, 'a wonderful author' or that you think 'Of Mice and Men' is 'really good' will gain no marks whatsoever - this is no more than a kind of waffle that fills space with empty words that add nothing useful to your essay.
4. USE THE REMAINING PARAGRAPHS EFFECTIVELY.
Follow the opening paragraph with a number of
check on turnitin, paragraphs that form the 'body' of the essay.
Child Labour Plague! Each of these paragraphs are there purely to expand on
death penalty deterrence, and support your originally stated overall viewpoint.
Having stated your main idea in your opening paragraph, now you need explore this, develop it and provide support from the text for this.
In the essay's body paragraphs your aim is
essay child labour plague, to:
follow the analysis system called P.E.E.
Students Help On Essays! or P.Q.C. For more on this see here ;
work through the text's structure logically and, highlighting via the use of quotations, explain how these led you to develop your point of view;
comment on how the language of each of these parts led you to form your interpretation: why did the
child labour author choose this particular type of language to make this point in this way? How does it help a) the audience and b) the writer's purpose or theme ?
discuss how this individual part of the
my paper on turnitin text forms a useful structural part of the text by leading the reader towards an
essay labour society overall understanding of the themes, messages or purposes of the text;
CRUCIALLY. each paragraph needs to develop a separate and individual point - one that will help to show how different parts and aspects of the text helped you develop your interpretation and
college entrance viewpoint (this is the
essay labour society POINT part of P.E.E.);
A useful tip is to open each paragraph with a topic sentence . This is a sentence that clearly makes a point that is
check my paper on turnitin, developing your argument - your answer to the essay question - and, because it is, therefore, clearly focused on
child plague society, the essay question, it will keep your writing on
challenge qualify statement, track;
Always aim to provide support for each of the points you make by referring directly to the text (this is the EXAMPLE part of P.E.E.).
You normally do this by quoting briefly from
child labour plague society a relevant part of the text but you might choose to describe an event.
It's very important NOT to write a long description of WHAT happens. If you do you are merely 'retelling the story' - this loses many marks.
In a play you also lose marks if you do not discuss aspects of the staging and stage action.
You will need to
my paper follow each quotation with an explanation of and a discussion on aspects of the language the author used in the quotation; this means discussing, for
plague example, how aspects of the quotations literary, poetic or dramatic language works, including mentioning the method the writer used, the effect the
letter for college professor language creates and the reasons this might have been done (this is the EXPLAIN part of P.E.E).
You should also aim to show how the quotation helped you develop your overall interpretation of the text (this is also the EXPLAIN part of P.E.E).
5. CREATE A LOGICAL STRUCTURE.
Always work in a clear way through the text, from beginning to end.
Avoid starting your essay by discussing a point that occurs half way through your text: ALWAYS begin at the beginning!
Many students begin discussing a text half way through or even near the end then go back to an earlier point.
Child! This ignores the work the writer puts in to develop an
challenge thesis effective structure to their text - and loses marks!
6. CONCLUDE EFFECTIVELY.
The conclusion to an essay is
child society, important but causes problems for many students.
Workplace Bullying Research Paper! It should leave your reader with a pleasant and
essay labour logical sense of 'closure' - a 'wrapping up' of the main ideas behind the essay .
1. Re-state in a different form (using rather different words) your opening argument.
2. Now bring together your main points (again, avoiding simple repetition of the
letter same words): list or summarise the
child main points from the preceding paragraphs (use the topic sentences from each paragraph to give you an idea).
3. End by
paper identifying some of the wider implications and relevance that arise from what you have found and explored.
The conclusion should consist of just a few sentences but these will need to be made to sound convincing and
essay labour authoritative .
It's crucial to
deterrence keep the
child society conclusion brief and to the point and, above all else, to introduce no new material at all.
ALWAYS WRITE ANALYTICALLY , NEVER DESCRIPTIVELY.
Here is an example of how many students go wrong; don't worry, you won't - but this is a very common mistake:
In William Shakespeare's play, 'Romeo and Juliet', these are the
essays outline first two lines of the 'Prologue' as spoken by 'The Chorus':
'Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene. '
What follows is a typical 'retelling': an 'overview' or 'translation' that gains no marks :
'Here, Shakespeare is saying that the play is
essay, set in Verona where there are two dignified families.'
Compare the
workplace above 'description' with this analytical and insightful interpretation :
'The opening lines of the Prologue are important because they paint a picture for
child labour plague society the audience of what could and should be - fairness and
of application professor dignity. These words set up a powerful contrast to what is: the violence, hatred and bloodshed shown in
labour the coming scene.
Check On Turnitin! It will be against this violent backdrop that the pure love of Romeo and
child labour plague society Juliet will have to struggle.'
Which approach and style would gain the higher mark?
STUCK FOR WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT?
THERE ARE FOUR KEY ASPECTS THAT APPLY TO ALL TEXTS AND WHICH SHOULD FORM THE BASIS OF ANY LITERATURE ESSAY.
FORM, CONTENT, STRUCTURE AND STYLE.
This is so very often ignored despite the fact that it provides the basis for the very best essays because it provides a subtle response. And subtlety always receives the
bullying research paper highest marks !
When you write about
plague society a text at the level of its form , you analyse how aspects of it other than the meaning of
entrance essays outline, its language have been used by the writer in important and effective ways.
To give you an idea of the importance of
child, form to a text, you yourself make use of the form of language when you speak loudly or softly , or when you chat or text a friend and
college students need on essays companies use CAPS LOCK. Also, when you create short or long sentences or paragraphs you are affecting the look - the form - of your writing. This, albeit subtly, affects the way the writing is
plague society, received and interpreted.
A novelist makes use of form by writing in sentences and paragraphs of varying lengths (you can imagine the effect a very short sentence, or a one-line paragraph, for example). The use of dialogue (spoken words shown inside speech marks) is also an effective use of form, as is the use of
defend challenge, underlining , bold or italics - or, in non-fiction texts, the inclusion of bullet points or sections.
Poets are acutely aware of and very creative with the use of form.
Essay Child Labour! A poet makes use of
penalty deterrence, form, for example, by consciously splitting up sentences into
child labour society, the lines of poetry . This allows the poet to exaggerate a particular word by placing it at
college students help on essays us, the end of a line, or by
essay child labour rhyming it with a similar sounding word.
A non-fiction writer makes use of form by using layout and
death essay appearance and by adding illustrations and photographs , and so on.
All writers use form by using patterns of sound , such as by using alliteration , rhyme , rhythm , onomatopoeia , assonance and so on.
A playwright, of course, uses form very differently. When your essay concerns a play, therefore, you'll definitely be losing marks if you ignore aspects of form. In a play, much of the 'meaning' is created not from language but from what you see happening on the stage - the
essay labour society staging and stage action. This includes not just what the actors do but what they wear , where they stand and
research paper so on
child labour plague, - all potentially important formal aspects of the play that should find their way onto your essay.
Form is always worthy of
entrance outline, comment when (but only when ) if it adds usefully to the meaning, i.e. the content of a text.
Every word and phrase has a literal meaning . This is its basic dictionary meaning. It's sometimes called a word's denotation .
E.g. 'In this story, the author's detailed description of darkness denotes the coming on of a storm'.
This is a way of 'playing' around with a word's meaning that makes writing more vivid , emotional and interesting . Words and phrases can be used differently from their literal context and given what is called a connotation . Using connotation or figurative language , a writer can introduce layers of meaning - especially emotional meaning (don't forget that many words can create both meaning and feeling ). The most common way this is done is to use a word not for its literal meaning but for its metaphorical or figurative meaning. Another way is to use a word that acts as symbolically and represents something very different from its literal meaning.
E.g. 'As well as suggesting the coming of a storm, the darkness also acts to
plague suggest a metaphorical darkness is
qualify, taking over the character's mind. In this way the darkness seems to
essay child be symbolising a kind of
college help companies, evil'.
Using a pun - a witty play on words - is
essay child labour plague society, another way that meaning can be played with in
essays outline an interesting way. Punning works because some words, in a certain context, can have an ambiguous meaning - two possible meanings - one of which might be humorous.
Irony is a key way that writers use to create layers of meaning. Sarcasm is irony, but this is
child labour society, a spoken form of irony that is intended to hurt someone's feelings by
my paper on turnitin ridiculing some aspect of them.
Essay Child Labour Plague! It's a crude, easy kind of
of application professor, irony not really subtle enough for writing. Irony is usually subtle , sophisticated , edgy and
essay witty ; an altogether more intelligent use of language. But irony can also be difficult to recognise - yet it is probably true to say that irony is
challenge statement, one of the most common means by which a sophisticated writer creates layers of
essay child plague society, meaning in a text .
Irony works because when it is recognised, it engages the
entrance essays outline reader very much more closely with the
child text.
Defend Thesis! This is because, rather like solving a puzzle, there is a real enjoyment and satisfaction in unpicking the various levels of meaning created by the irony.
Creating an 'ironic tone of voice' in writing is much harder than in speech because the original sound of
society, voice and facial expression or body language of the speaker are absent. To create an ironic tone (or any tone, for that matter), words have to
penalty deterrence be chosen with great care. It is a key reading skill to be able to detect this as it tells you what attitude the writer is taking towards their subject matter.
An example of irony occurs in an old story by O. Henry called 'The Gift of the Magi'. This story of poor young lovers ends with the boyfriend selling the one thing he owns of value, his pocket watch, in order to buy his girlfriend an expensive hair comb; equally secretly, she has all of
essay child labour society, her long hair cut off to
qualify thesis sell to a wig maker so she can afford to buy him. a chain for his watch.
Structure is the way a writer consciously 'shapes' a piece of writing in an attempt to make it as effective as possible for their audience and their purpose.
It is important to comment on the structure of a text, e.g. 'The way the author slowly builds up the tension throughout this chapter helps create a feeling of real excitement and mystery'.
Style is the way a writer or speaker consciously chooses language and language features to suit a particular audience to achieve a specific purpose . When you aim to
labour convince your mum that Friday's party cannot be missed, you will consciously adapt your style to one that is
college need, more emotional and persuasive!
Some famous writers have a particular style of their own that is quickly recognisable.
Child Society! John Steinbeck, Charles Dickens and William Wordsworth are three such writers - here, a writer's individual style is sometimes referred to as the
death penalty deterrence writer's 'voice'.
Your primary job when analysing and
essay discussing a text is to comment on its style - on what are called the stylistic or language choices its writer has made, especially those that seem to you to have been chosen to create a particular effect to achieve a certain purpose. So. if you are commenting on the form and content of a writer's language, you are commenting on the writer's style .
COMPARING TWO OR MORE TEXTS.
Even though it's a central part of the mark scheme, and always made clear in the essay question or title, each year many students still manage to
defend write their comparison exam answer or coursework essay and forget to compare and contrast the texts .
Aside from not knowing the texts sufficiently well, failing to compare and contrast is the number one reason marks are lost in this kind of essay.
When writing about
plague more than one text, your opening paragraph should be used to give the briefest details of each text (i.e. your writing needs to
workplace be succinct !). This will mean being even more careful and sparing when you write an overview of each text, in which you give the
essay labour society big picture .
There are two methods you can consider using when comparing texts:
1) Write about the first text fully before moving on to the
my paper on turnitin second - still using the techniques outlined above; but when you go on to write about the second text, you must compare and contrast it with the first.
2) Alternatively, and this makes the most sense when thinking about the argument essay, you write about both texts as you proceed .
Child Plague! This allows you still, as shown above, to create a central argument , one in which examples to support the points are taken from
qualify one or both texts as relevant to the point.
This second method is the more complex and sophisticated of the two.
